This is my father/son project.
Like to put a Ram Air hood on it, with the front and back spoiler, with the Black strips down the side.
The light blue has grown on me so i am going to keep her the same colour.

I plan to start at the back and work to the front with the body. pulling the motor when i get there.
The motor needs to be freshend up.
There is supposable 78000 miles on the car!
Not sure what the District code 89 (transportation services means)
The cars was in Phoenix until 94, then sold to a guy in northern michigan, who sold it to a guy in Detriot who put it the barn for 2 years.
The trany was supposable rebiult?

The DSO 89 caught my eye in your first post as I had seen discussion on this DSO before. I found this on another site:

Details are sketchy since there's many uses Ford could have had for the vehicle.

DSO 89 is in fact a vehicle that was built and kept by Ford for it's use until no longer needed and sold off to the general public. Most of these vehicles were used as perks for executives, management and other "important people". They would keep them for months to maybe a year or two until newer models replaced them as they were mixed into the fleet.

Others were used for promotional work and advertising.

The last thing these cars could have been were quality control and crash cars that Ford would test. These were the cars they would drive around on tracks and other proving grounds to see how they held up and also the ones that were outright crashed for safety tests. Basically these cars would have been destroyed so you're chances of having one are remote to nonexistent.

Love those father/son/daughter projects! I kinda like the blue, too!

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. James 3:17 (KJV)

Here is the history that I found in the glove box.
I found the Ownercard
0F03H156216 3B 89
76D 11M 2 X J
Im not sure what the 11M means, maybe AC?
The J I think is September
I have the Arizona Title from May 3-84 when it was registered to Carbidex Corp of Phoenix with 44,843 miles
I have a Emission test from Arizona June 6-88 and the mileage was 57,000 miles
I have the Michigan Title from June 18-93 , no mileage listed registered to Auther Chambers of Grosse Ile Michigan
I looked up Carbidex Corp and Found Auther Chamber obituary from 2009, apperantly he was the CEO of Carbidex and must have switch the car into his name in 93
The guy I bought the car from said he had it for 2 years, they never regestered it until I bought it
So the odometer must be original at 79,000 miles
lastly I found a copy of the Ford Audio Systems Demonstration Tape, I bet no one has one of these babies!
Just need to find a old cassete player to listen to it!
It's probably Disco!
